Bee towards the front! Really though, I guarantee when my kit gets here in a month, I'll remember that detail clear as a bell. Great series! I really appreciate the step by step video guide. Just reading through the instructions made the build seem pretty daunting.
Before to mount the linear blocks it is a good practice to clean them up from the manufacturing residues using IPA and then grease them. A lot of work but very necessary in my opinion
They were cleaned. It’s not going to be working in the cleanest environment anyways. That is what the rubber “sweepers” are for that are attached to the bearings. Good maintenance is a worthwhile practice, but some things are unavoidable...
@@702marine I have the same kit, thanks for the video! Do you know where I can get a grease gun that fits those micro Zerk fittings? I tried putting a fuel line on it and filling it by pressure but I can't get any past that ball. So for now I'm just wiping down the rails with grease each day and hoping the bearings pick up enough to survive.
You know I haven’t looked yet. I was expecting it to be something I would need to dig for so I just haven’t taken that on yet. I would imagine putting some grease on the rail will work but I wouldn’t think it would be necessary to put it on the entire rail. It just needs to pick it up once.
All of that is exactly the same as the WorkBee. All those videos are linked here. If you do all of those electronics and programming like that you will be all set.
Wake up to 2021, everything is from China. You make the best you can out of what’s available. I am a proud American that has served and shed blood for this nation. If you don’t like that or the fact that I have put this together to help others better themselves you can feel free to GO SOMEWHERE ELSE!!

Will you be covering the Electronic installation and Mach3 config. as part part of this build video series?

@@702marine thanks, great content, very thorough.
Is there a reason why you have that huge American flag in the background while you review a sponsored Chinese product?

That's not entirely true. The QueenBee upgrade was originally made by us in Australia. :)
A good video by the way.
@@cnc3d good catch
